I have under supered my hive with a frame of foundation. The first super was filling up nicely although there was still a small amount of capacity in it.
After about a week, the bees haven't touched the foundation in the new super. Instead they have built a seam of natural comb about as big as a saucer in between the frames of foundation. They are filling this with stores.
Is there a problem with my spacings, although I have castellations controlling the gaps (10 frames across)? Should I remove it?
